Four ESTA Standards In Public Review

Two additional documents were added to the public review page since the last issue of Standards Watch. Check

'em out at http://tsp.esta.org/tsp/documents/public_review_docs.php

. One is due before 3 May, and three others are due no later than 23 May. Anyone who would be materially affected by the publication of these documents as

American National Standards is invited to submit comments.

Due before 3 May 2016

BSR E1.53, Overhead mounting of luminaires, lighting accessories, and other portable devices: specification and practice (a new project)

Volume 20, Number 7 Page 1

From the Electrical Power Working Group, BSR E1.53 intends to cover specifications for the primary and secondary mounting devices for portable stage and studio luminaires and accessories. It also covers these mounting devices for special effects equipment (e.g. fog machines and bubble machines) that are often mounted along with lighting equipment on trusses and rigging system battens. The standard would give guidance on how to properly affix these mounting devices.

Due before 24 May 2016

BSR E1.42 - 201x, Entertainment Technology—Design, Installation, and Use of Orchestra Pit Lifts (a new project)

From the Stage Lifts Working Group, BSR E1.42 intends to cover the design, construction, operation, inspection, testing, maintenance, alteration, and repair of permanently installed orchestra pit lifts and their associated parts, rooms, spaces, enclosures and hoistways, where located in a theatre or a similar place of public entertainment.

Stage lifts, such as orchestra pit or theatre forestage lifts, are not the subject of any current national standard. As a result, safety requirements and inspections of them are inconsistent. E1.42 is being written to address this lack of a standard. The scope is limited to safety and to orchestra or forestage lifts that are installed as a part of the building and that are not custom-built for a single theatrical production.

BSR E1.56 – 201x, Entertainment Technology—Rigging Support Points (a new project)

From the Rigging Working Group, BSR E1.56 applies to stationary rigging points that are intended to be permanent and provides minimum requirements for the design, fabrication, installation, inspection, and documentation of these Rigging Points for their use to support rigging loads. Many performance venues (e.g., sports arenas, ballrooms, multi-purpose halls) lack adequately designed and installed rigging support points, thus making the safe staging of live events in these venues more difficult.

BSR E1.28 – 2011 (R201x) , Guidance on planning followspot positions in places of public assembly (a reaffirmation)

From the Followspot Position Working Gruop, this document offers guidance on the planning of permanent followspot positions, including recommendations on the locations of the followspot positions within the venue, the power likely to be needed, the waste heat generated, the amount of space likely to be needed, and the fall protection and egress issues to be considered for the followspot operator's safety. The existing standard is being considered for reaffirmation.

Title: Updating OSHA Standards Based on National Consensus Standards; Eye and Face Protection

Agency: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Department of Labor

Summary: On 13 March 2015, OSHA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking

(NPRM) to revise its eye and face protection standards for general industry, shipyard employment, marine terminals, longshoring, and construction by updating the references to national consensus standards approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). OSHA received no significant objections from commenters and therefore is adopting the amendments as proposed. This final rule updates the references in

OSHA's eye and face standards to reflect the most recent edition of the ANSI/International Safety Equipment

Association (ISEA) eye and face protection standard. It removes the oldest-referenced edition of the same

ANSI standard. It also amends other provisions of the construction eye and face protection standard to bring them into alignment with OSHA's general industry and maritime standards.

Dates: This final rule becomes effective on 25 April 2016. The incorporation by reference of certain standards listed in the rule was approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of 25 April 2016.

New ANS Projects

ANSI has announced the following new projects that might materially affect Standards Watch readers—or at least be interesting to them. Contact the developer if you (a) want to be involved in the project, or (b) object to the project and wish it to be abandoned, or (c) if you would like to point out that its scope is covered by an existing standard, thereby possibly making the project redundant or conflicting.

The proposed new standard builds on the work accomplished in ZAC to continue and improve support for the new technology. The following items should be considered for inclusion into the ZAC-2 standard:

- corrections for difficulties discovered during the development of first adopter products based on ZAC;

- enhanced command and error handling definitions to support new customer requirements for the technology;


- other capabilities that may fit within the scope of this project. For more information, contact Rachel Porter at comments@itic.org
